Casting Young Performers for Production of "Firebringer"
Audition notice for production of "Firebringer". Seeking young actors. Please see more info below. About the project: "At the dawn of humanity, one tribe of cave-people survives the many trials of prehistoric life under the wise leadership of Jemilla, The Peacemaker. Jemilla taught her people to express themselves, rather than bashing each others' heads with rocks and eating each others' babies. But one member of the tribe doesn't seem to fit in: Zazzalil. She's always trying to invent things to make life easier… for herself. While out hatching her latest scheme, Zazzalil stumbles upon the most important discovery in history. One that will pit her tribe against wooly mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, and change the world forever. She'll travel from Omega to Alpha, and become… the Firebringer!"

Show dates: Thursday June 12th 7pm Saturday June 14 7pm? Sunday June 15 2pm (Note: NO Friday performance as that is Freehold Prom) If you are interested, please apply.
